Are You Ready For Your Eggs?

All three of our chickens have just started laying eggs again after a few months hiatus over the winter. The metaphor for manifesting is too good to pass up, so here goes.

When we got our chooks the expectation was 'thou shalt produce eggs'. We waited and waited and then finally our first, rather small, egg appeared. Maggie was the advanced chicken and her sisters did not follow suit. So we had one egg every two or three days. And then winter set in and there were no eggs.

The temptation was to entertain the thought, 'What a bum deal these chooks are!' Rob grumbled about 'needing to earn their keep', and our first dozen eggs probably cost upwards of $200 after the chook pen, hay, feed and other paraphernalia.

Hint: this is a common manifesting error - waiting for results in order to feel good. It's searching under a nesting chicken and getting your hand pecked. Or digging up the garden to see if the bulbs have sprouted.

But our grumbles were just jokes. We knew the chickens would come good on the deal.

Manifesting Tip 1: Belief. We knew that the chickens would eventually produce some more eggs. But we just got on with enjoying the winter, looking after them, and sweeping up chicken poop.

Manifesting Tip 2: Be happy now, and looking forward to later. I call this manifestation anticipation. It's the tension you need to slingshot a manifestation into existence.


And then suddenly, magically, all three are pumping out eggs and we are scrambling (hee hee very punny!) to keep up with them.

That's when I worked out we hadn't been prepared for the results we'd expected. We'd set the intention for eggs, and got on with having fun. But there is one more important aspect: preparing the way.

Manifesting Tip 3: Prepare the way for your manifestation - make it easy for your goals to come to fruition. Don't turn your manifestation into an unexpected problem you have to solve (and thereby create resistance).
